As we listen to this song, we instantly notice that the story of Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) is quite unique and remarkable. Born as a slave, he fought the system and eventually taught himself how to read and write by observing others around him. With this newfound courage and knowledge, he planned his own escape, fought for women’s rights, and lived the rest of his life as an abolitionist - stopping at nothing to end slavery for good.
